Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1912: Causing Trouble

Noble Consort Wang was just about to speak when the screeching cries of two palace maids resonated in her ears: "Noble Consort Wang, Noble Consort Wang, save us, they’re going to beat us to death."

Noble Consort Wang looked up, only to see her two palace maids being firmly pressed to the ground by the Empress’s people, receiving a barrage of slaps, making the maids howl in pain.

Her rage rose instantly; the Empress barged into her palace with servants in tow, and now they were hitting her servants. If such acts were to spread, how could she survive in the Harem?

Noble Consort Wang shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The Empress said nonchalantly: "Noble Consort Wang, there’s no need to be upset over just two insignificant palace maids. They don’t know the rules of the palace, so I’m disciplining them for your sake."

"You...you...Empress, don’t push your luck! What crime have they committed?" Noble Consort Wang quivered with rage.

"They committed the crime of offending a superior. Even when seeing me, the Empress, they show no respect and dare to shout. For this alone, even if I killed them, The Emperor would not say anything."

The Empress was so arrogantly swaggering when she came to the Forget Worries Palace.

Noble Consort Wang was not to be underestimated either; she immediately ordered her people to rush forward and snatch back the two young palace maids, even beating the Empress’s people in the process.

This time, it was the Empress who was unsettled, her face turning very unpleasant: "Good for you, Noble Consort Wang, daring to revolt against a superior, revolt indeed."

"Empress, you come to my palace, injure my people, and still expect me to bow to you, to be grateful?"

In the end, she scoffed disdainfully: "Truly laughable."

Noble Consort Wang’s offhand remark infuriated the Empress: "You...who are you calling laughable?"

Noble Consort Wang: "I’m talking about you. What about it?"

Empress: "Someone come, Noble Consort Wang has revolted against a superior, give her twenty lashes."

Noble Consort Wang glared menacingly at everyone present, threatening: "Who dares, dares to even touch a single hair of mine, The Emperor will have your heads."

The palace maids immediately shrank back.

"Useless bunch, you go," the Empress said to her own close nanny.

"Yes."

The nanny, a trusted confidante of the Empress, received the order and immediately lunged at Noble Consort Wang.

Noble Consort Wang’s servants were not to be underestimated either; a dozen palace maids rushed forward out of loyalty, fiercely attacking the old nanny, prompting the Empress’s people, seeing the old nanny suffer, to charge forward, fighting with Noble Consort Wang’s people.

The two groups fought more fervently, damaging many things in the palace. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This incident spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace, even alerting The Emperor.

Thus, he summoned the two to the Nurturing Heart Palace and gave them a stern reprimand.

The Emperor’s face blazed with anger: "Empress, what exactly happened? I told you to thank Noble Consort Wang for managing the Harem for many days, not to bring people to destroy the Forget Worries Palace."

Of course, the Empress would not admit she deliberately came to cause trouble, so she said: "The palace maids of Noble Consort Wang showed me disrespect, blocking my way once I entered, even saying I had no right to enter the Forget Worries Palace. In a fit of anger, I ordered my servants to punish them. Noble Consort Wang was displeased and fought with my people. Your Majesty, this matter is not my fault; it’s all because Noble Consort Wang indulges her servants too much."

Noble Consort Wang: "Empress, your skill at reversing right and wrong has improved. You clearly came to bully me first, yet you speak so reasonably now. Is there no justice?"

Empress: "Noble Consort Wang, I followed The Emperor’s command, specially came to thank you personally for helping me manage the Harem for many days. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you let your servants injure my people. Look at them, how seriously they are injured."
